6 Miles (9.66K), 52:15

I'm not sure this is the first day this year when I've gone running above 60, but it's either the first or second. We haven't had a lot of days above 60, and I think only 1 above 70.

This was also my first run since the beginning of January at 6 miles or longer. I am glad to get to 6 miles for my long run since that is the beginning of what actually seems to me like a real long run distance.

It was a pretty good run. It was very windy, but fortunately I was most facing the wind on the way out and I got to an area where it wasn't too bad because I was on the trail in the woods, protected by the trees. For the high wind speeds, it was really a good run. I especially felt like I really got into a groove for the last couple miles, which was encouraging.

This run took place on 5/13/09.
